I had created a &lt;a href="</SPAN><A href="https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-15535" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-15535</A><SPAN>"&gt;JIRA / support issue&lt;/a&gt; for this quite a long time ago and Alfresco simply closed it last year as "won't fix".</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Note: You can't use the nodeFilterRegistry / typeFilterRegistry for Actions - they are only there for node creation, view and edit. The ALF-15535 would have added a filter registry for Actions.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Fortunately, the patch is pretty simple, so you could include this yourself. We have been maintaining this in our internal Alfresco patch library for a few years now.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Regards</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Axel</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 16 Mar 2015 10:38:00 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/formfilter-not-being-called-on-action/m-p/301609#M254739 afaust 2015-03-16T10:38:00Z
